MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee are searching for suspects in the robbery of a Victoria's Secret, who were shot at by an armed witness while fleeing.

News outlets report Murfreesboro police responded to a shooting incident at The Avenue Murfreesboro shopping mall late Saturday morning. Murfreesboro Police Department spokesman Kyle Evans says a person saw two men stealing from the store and fired one round as the suspects fled in a vehicle driven by a woman.

The identity of the armed citizen was not disclosed.

It's unclear if anyone in the car was hit by the bullet. The car hit two cars as it left the mall.

The police department's criminal investigation division is investigating the incident. Evans said more information could not be released as the shooting remained under investigation.
